November 14, 2015, Saturday - Come, You Taste: Iron Range Cookbook Author Event at Mill City Museum

Times: 12:30pm - 2:30pm

Location: Mill City Museum, 704 2nd Street South

Join MNHS Press author B.J. Carpenter for a series of cooking demonstrations based on her new book Come, You Taste: Family Recipes from the Iron Range. Potica or kolache, sarma or braciole, lutefisk or baccala, fattigman or lefse—Minnesota’s Iron Range has a culinary language all its own. The pursuit of rich iron ore in the early 20th century drew workers who hailed from Finland, Sweden, Slovenia, Italy and many other places, and as the men went to work in the mines, their families adjusted together to this new land.

Cooking demonstrations will be at 12:30 pm and 2 pm in the Baking Lab. After each demonstration, copies of the book will be available for purchase and a book signing.
